Birdcarving #14: Japanese White-eye (Mejiro)












This is my 14th birdcarving of Japanese White-eye. A small lovely bird whichI like her small white eye.


The Japanese White-eye is about 4 to 4.5 inches in size, with a yellow forehead, a greenish back, and dark brown wings and tail outlined in green. Like other white-eyes, this species exhibits the distinctive white eyering that gives it its name (mejiro also meaning "white eye" in Japanese). It is omnivorous, feeding primarily on insects and nectar.
